525 SW Morrison, 8th Floor. 5PM-7 Free
There is a geometric spatial installation occupying the W+K lobby. It's angular and orange, inhabiting a white out industrial space of 1908 vintage, but holding its own. Fitted by artists Jordan Tull and Damien Gilley, it's danced in tonight by collaborator Rachel Tess, in project Re/Activate. Julliard-schooled Tess, who is noted for her bi-continent works, has been exploring the space with movement as resident W+K artist; it's a great use of the otherwise little used grand entry lobby. Light, sound, costume collaborators are Jennifer Lin, Thomas Thorson, Rachelle Waldie, respectively. The sole props are a vintage sleeping bag matching the set, camp lanterns, a table and chairs. It's a great collaboration by all involved. Repeats March 30,31, as a finished piece, admission $25, reservations 503-729-5364. Tonight's informal work in progress performance is free. At W+K 224 NW 13th 7:30PM
